Augrented Insights Report for 494 Sheffield Avenue

494 Sheffield Avenue is an 8-story, 84-unit residential building located in East New York, constructed in 2015 and currently owned by Yesenia Santanastarks. The property has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with particularly significant concerns emerging in 2024-2025.

A major cluster of complaints and violations came to light in May 2025, involving issues with doors (multiple complaints), window panes, mold, paint/plaster problems, and elevator maintenance, though most of these complaints were closed after HPD inspections found no violations, except for two door-related complaints that resulted in violations. The building is subject to several open violations from a December 2024 inspection of apartment 2E, including missing smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, evidence of pest infestation (including roaches and mice), and various plumbing issues. The 2024-2025 period has also seen multiple emergency maintenance requests related to doors, plumbing, flooring, and heating/hot water systems.

The elevator system has been a recurring area of concern, with multiple complaints filed throughout 2024 regarding both single and multiple devices on the property, though inspections generally found no violations. Environmental violations were issued in 2024-2025 related to facade maintenance and lighting, and there are currently two active violations regarding failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous (Class 1) conditions from October 2024. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs since 2019, with no infestations reported in the past five years, though previous years showed some instances of rodent inspections in 2012, 2011, and 2017, with one 2017 inspection failing for "Other Reasons." While the property has experienced various maintenance challenges, particularly in recent years, the management has generally responded to violations and complaints, as evidenced by the closure of many recent service requests and emergency maintenance complaints.
